Love / India guy Polish girl [57]

It may be... Quite sad actually.
He already started to eat flesh and become more "European" (or even "Polish"). All of it for this strange girl. I wouldn't want to be this guy when his mother get to know the truth.

History / Polish-Turkish alliance. Is it mistake, joke or real love? [35]

Well... Polish and Turkish nations have got a rather nasty war for more-or-less 500 years.
We had learned some mutual respect in the process.
As a Polish guy I may say that I don't like the Turkish.
But I am respect them anyway.

Love / Polish Girl & Me...Is She Interested? [57]


I think you may be over-sensitive on this point. All these expensive clothes she wore may be borrowed. Polish girls are known to be life-wise. They are live in a close-knit community and it may be possible that she borrowed all this stuff in order to impress you. To be pretty for you. It may seems that they are live a little over-the-top. You just can't presume that she is a kind of prostitute without any hard proofs. It is unwise and unfair. The statistics in Poland shows that for the last 30 years we spend more than we earn. It's magic. It's our tradition.

Nonetheless - be careful. Polish girl is far away from what you know. But don't judge too fast. Be wise.

Love / Polish Girl & Me...Is She Interested? [57]


I am sure that some modern, open-minded, and feminist people wouldn't agree, but the answer, I am afraid, is YES! Traditionally, as a man, you are expected to cover all restaurant bills, entry tickets etc from your pocket. Traditionally - woman is treated like a princess. This tradition is pretty weak and quite old-school in Poland, but still exist. IMPORTANT NOTE: This not include clothes, jewellery or other kind of gifts.


If she is a person who cherished "traditional values", she wouldn't agree any sex before marriage. Well... Not so soon anyway. You know her better. Answer this question yourself.


Yes, I think that overall that Polish girls like Americans.
You have to understand that Poland is a monolith nation. More or less - everyone in Poland looks, speaks and behave the same way. We haven't got any significant minorities in Poland. That's why Polish girls tend to fell in love in a men who are different from what they know. Let me warn you that, although these feelings are genuine in most of the cases, some cultural differences may be hard to overcome in the long run.


There is no reason to "pardon".
Let me give you some advice. Mark it - this is just my Polish gut-feeling and it may be entirely wrong, but my words for you is: RUN!

Run as fast and as far as you can from this girl.

Of course - you realise she doesn't belongs to any caste? She is not even a Dalit.
I wonder what your family thinks about that?

Life / As EuroPride visits Warsaw - is it the start of overdue social change in Poland? (homosexuality promotion) [144]

Here is a series of short clips from the Warsaw Parade.

So for partnerships and unions, because Poland is the most important - it is one of the terms under which the streets of Warsaw on Saturday passed a parade Europride 2010 According to police estimates, was attended by approx. 8 thousand . people. There were some kontrmanifestacji - the largest organized Polish Youth .

I find it quite hard to spot a "fighting for the equal rights" element on these clips. lol

Bo ateizm to nie jest jeszcze jedna wiara, która wymagałaby ideologicznego ognia. Z resztą - moim zdaniem - wojujący ateisci to żałosna sprawa. Niczym nie różnią się od wojujących fanatyków religijnych.

Ja tam szanuję ludzi, którzy sami są wiarą niezainteresowani ale potrafią okazać zrozumienie i szacunek dla wierzących.


Uważam, że wiara lub brak wiary jest sprawą ściśle prywatną. I nieładnie jest "przyciskać" kogokolwiek. Poza tym - wiara nie wymaga logicznego uzasadnienia (niektórzy nawet twierdzą, że logika szkodzi wierze). Trzeba uszanować, że ktos wierzy i tyle.

Widzę, że Ty pojmujesz ateizm jako jakiś ruch, organizację. Z własnymi prorokami czy świętymi księgami. Myślę, że tak nie jest.

I hope that you are aware of the fact that there are very few Polish posters here. The overwhelming majority of posters on PF have got no or very little connections with Poland.

That's why the PF is more a game of imagination and stereotypes than a source of reliable informations.
I have got some gay friends too. And they just love to exaggerate how discriminated they are. I think this makes them feel special.


Yeah I understand you. But I can't agree with the conception of a "visit card". Obviously - there are some good things in Poland and some bad too. As long as these are discussed on the basis of facts - I have got nothing against it.

I just can't stand the effects of wild imagination of some of the posters. That is why there is a conception for some time that it would be a good idea to have at least one Polish moderator (preferably living in Poland) who would know the realities of Poland from personal experience. Such a person would be easily able to sort out the facts from the "stories".

UK, Ireland / The secret Polish gay men in the U.K [133]

IMHO there is a way too many topics on Poland where the only and one argument is "we all know that". That is why I think that some facts wouldn't make any harm.

How do you know that the Poland is conservative? And what do you mean by that?

A czytałeś? Bo jak nie - to nie ma o czym gadać.


Więc to jest książka o Bogu? Popatrz, popatrz - jaka niespodzianka. Mógłbyś rozwinąć swoja myśl?


No i znowu to samo. No zrozum - są ludzie, którzy mają inne poglady niż Ty. Po co ich obrazać. Trzeba ich wyprowadzić z błędu. Argumentami - nie obelgami.


To jak czegoś nie słychać i nie widać - to tego nie ma? I Ty to mówisz? Taki religijny człowiek? Nie wiem, co o tym myśleć.

Ja też nie słyszałem. Ale pewnie tacy są. I fajnie byłoby przedstawić ich punkt widzenia.
Jednostronne przedstawianie prawdy (nawet, jezeli jest to Prawda, przez duże pe) nie bez powodu nazywane jest propagandą.
A rozsądny człowiek nie powinien ulegać propagandzie.

Life / To ex-pats living in Poland. Hanging around more with Poles or other expats? [20]


What about swans?
I understand that breaking the fabrics of society is a demanding and rather time-consuming task, but I have to admit, that I am a little bit disappointed that you are obviously unable to find some time to take care of these beautiful (and delicious) birds.

Shame...

How can you call yourself an immigrant? You fail even that.

Life / To ex-pats living in Poland. Hanging around more with Poles or other expats? [20]


The correct word is "immigrants". Not "ex-pats".
They are bloody foreigners who are stealing OUR jobs. They show no respect for Polish tradition or culture. They don't integrate. They moan all the time how s**tty place the Poland is. They destroy fabrics of our society.

And they hunt swans.
That's what they are. Bloody immigrants.

Yeah.

IMHO - książka byłaby bardziej interesująca, gdyby mówiła też o naukowcach, którzy stracili wiarę.

Did you EVER heard about any real example of this kind of situation in Poland?
I did not.


Did you jump on this chance? ;-)

UK, Ireland / The secret Polish gay men in the U.K [133]


Yeah. I was under the impression that we discuss the situation in Poland. I am afraid I know nothing about the realities in the "certain countries".

UK, Ireland / The secret Polish gay men in the U.K [133]


I don't see any discrimination against them. Really.
I think the want a special rights for themselves.
For instance a right to be accepted and liked. Everyone would like that!
But reality is that some people just don't like others. That is a fact of life.

UK, Ireland / The secret Polish gay men in the U.K [133]

I have a friend in Warsaw too! :-) He was badly beaten by some thugs on the street. But he is not gay, so there is no propaganda potential in this story.

Seriously though - I know some gay men. And most of them blame everyone for homophobia all the time. Like: "They didn't allow me into the club. Because I'm gay."

Or: "This lady starring at me. That's because I'm gay." Or "I didn't get this job. It's homophobic discrimination."

Dammit: I know a guy, who used to introduce himself like: "My name is Marek. I'm a gay"
The usual response was "My name is xxxxx. I'm not."
Such a homophobic nation Poles are! :-)

History / The Untold Battle of Britain [205]


To rely on the words of the Bible is a tricky business.
Here is one of my favourite quotes:

"Then I heard the LORD say to the other men,
"Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all – old and young, girls and women and little children.

But do not touch anyone with the mark. Begin your task right here at the Temple."
So they began by killing the seventy leaders.

"Defile the Temple!" the LORD commanded. "Fill its courtyards with the bodies of those you kill! Go!" So they went throughout the city and did as they were told."

(Ezekiel 9:5-7 NLT)

The dress is OK. Only advice - It would be nice if you cover your shoulders where in Church. Of course - it's not necessary but I am sure that it gesture vould be appreciated.

Let say it clear and loudly:
The Scripture says about burned bush. Not about the shaved one.
I know - it sounds painful. But it is necessary for some very important religious reason.
Otherwise - something tragic will happen to the whole world.
Or something very good will happen.
Or it it wont.
I am not sure.

Dammit! First burn your bush and the we'll see ok?
It's important.
